Chapter 4: Stealing Holy Lyre, Retrieving Holy Lyre
Last time on Boboiboy x Genshin impact, Boboiboy, Lumine, and Paimon are discussing the boy, who's talking to the dragon. Lumine didn't tell Jean and others about this, so she will deal with this on her own. When they were discussing, they saw the boy is running. It's the same one from earlier so they followed him until they get the answers from him. When they continued following, they have found him on the high ground. The boy named Venti the bard. Lumine showed him the red crystal but the crystal has turned into light blue. Venti called the crystal is Tears, he showed her another crystal and asked her to purify it. So she held it and the crystal turned into light blue. It seems she has great abilities
Now, back to the business. Jean, Lisa, and Amber showed up and asked Boboiboy to help them out with hilichurl's camp, Boboiboy accepted. They wanted to know about his Elemental Powers. Once they reached hilichurl's camp, they found there are so many even Mitachurls and few Abyss Mages. So they started dealing with them. Once they finished, the one giant robot known as Ruin Guard. It came out of nowhere. They found out, it was three Abyss Mages, who're summoning it. When they came out of their hiding, more hilichurls and mitachurls showed up. They are surrounded as Boboiboy starts using his split. He split himself into seven and they started attacking all of them even the Ruin Guard. When they have done finishing them, Boboiboy started introducing his elements or siblings to Jean, Lisa, and Amber
Right now, Boboiboy, Lumine, and Paimon are finding a place to stay because tomorrow they will help Venti to receive the Holy Lyre
In the morning, they are on their way to the cathedral. Suddenly, Boboiboy remembers that he can't go to the church
"Hey, guys" Boboiboy called them as they turn to him. "I cannot go to the cathedral"
"What?! Why can't you go to the cathedral?!" Paimon asked him
"Well, because..." Boboiboy started explaining the reason why (Note: I don't how to explain this. So deal with it)
"I see. Well, you don't need to go in" Venti told him as Lumine said "Maybe you can stay outside while we're getting the Holy Lyre"
"Thanks. I'm staying outside" Boboiboy said as three of them walk inside
-Inside the cathedral-
"Let me handle this..." Venti told them as he walking up to the nun "Hello there, Sister"
"May the Anemo God bless you, young bard. How can I help you?" Nun asked
"Actually, I know a secret that can save Mondstadt from its current predicament" Venti told her
"Oh, what a blessing from the God of Anemo!" Nun sighed in relief "But you should report that to the Knights of Favonius. Why have you come to me?"
"Hahaha, because you, dear sister, are able to help! I'd like to borrow... the Holy Lyre. With it, I'll be able to help Stormterror-" he got interrupted by her. "Please see yourselves out"
"What?" Venti was surprised "It's a vicious dragon indeed, but once the Acting Grand Master makes up her mind, nothing can stand in the Knights' way"
"That's simply not acceptable. Wouldn't Stormterror end up getting killed that way?" Venti asked in worry. "That foolish beast betrayed the winds. Not even the God of Anemo themselves would forgive it!"
"Ugh... Please, I beg of you!" Venti begged "I'm afraid not, little bard"
'Strange... Somehow I feel so bad rejecting this sweet child...' Sister felt bad for rejecting his request
"Then... I guess I'm left with no choice. I cannot hide anymore! My disciples, rejoice! Behold, the God of Anemo, Barbatos has descended! Shocked, aren't you? Don't you just want to cry out and rejoice? How does it feel to finally meet the god you've been serving?" Venti revealed himself as Sister, she didn't feel shocked or surprised, she doesn't believe it because she thinks that he is joking
"If there's nothing else, I'll be going back to handle the Cathedral's paperwork now" Nun started walking away
"Wait-" Venti sighed and looked down
Venti walked back to the group
"So, I guess she won't give you the Holy Lyre" Lumine said. "Of course. She didn't even bat an eyelid. But, I have at least learned what I wanted to know"
"What is it?" Paimon asked
"She didn't deny that the Cathedral is enshrining the Holy Lyre. Now, Lumine, since you're the hotshot of the Knights of Favonius... Maybe you can give it a shot"
"*Sigh* Fine. I give it a try" Lumine groaned in annoyance as she walking towards to Nun. "Barbatos, bless you"
"Hello. I'm the Honorary Knight of Favonius, Lumine" Lumine introduced as Nun remembers her "I know you. You and the boy with strange hat saved Mondstadt that day"
"So what brings you here? Tasks from the Acting Grand Master?" Nun asked her as she answered "Yes, actually. The Knights of Favonius would like to borrow the Holy Lyre..."
"Is that so?"
"Yes, is something wrong with it?"
"Not that I don't trust you. It's just that a suspicious bard came looking to borrow the Holy Lyre as well. He's full of nonsense and even called himself Barbatos. He must be up to something" Nun told her
'Huh? Venti called himself a Barbatos?' Lumine thought as she looked at him from behind then she looked back at Nun
"There are regulations in place for the use of the Holy Lyre. Currently, it's only used in Ludi Harpastum. Signed documents from the Grand Master, Seneschal, and the Community Representative are all required" Nun told her and asked "So, may I see the document from the Knights of Favonius"
Lumine started feeling nervous and said "W-well, I'm sorry. I forgot to bring it here"
"A signed document is required. Without it, there's not much I can do. Now, if you're excuse me. I really am quite busy as of late" Nun said and walked away
Lumine walked back to the group as Venti said "It didn't work... I knew it"
"You "knew it"?" Paimon asked
"I just wanted to know how influential Lumine- the part of the Knights of the Favonius - is" Venti told them as Lumine sighed in annoyance
"You see, the best warrior should always be presented with the best sword, and yet here we are... Does that story not make for a fitting ballad?" Venti asked
"So what are you trying to say? That we're not good enough?" Paimon confused
"No, that's not it. More of a commentary regarding Mondstadt's inability to see the warrior standing right before its very eyes" Venti answered
"Very well, look like borrowing it is not going to be possible. We're simply going to have to steal it" Venti told them . "Today we stand for free will! Any suggestions on just how we steal it?"
"..." Lumine doesn't know what to say about this. "Come now, speak up. That's what free will is for"
"I don't want to steal anything!" Lumine said in annoyance
"Hahaha, look at you. Sidetracked from the start. But seriously, you're more suitable for the job than I. Aside from singing, I don't really have any other talents. Besides, if I was caught. I'd have no-one to right the grave injustice of my arrest. How can it be a "grave injustice" if you got caught stealing red-handed? But things are different for Lumine. You are the superstar of the Knights of Favonius. You have made contributions to Mondstadt" Venti told her
"Should you get caught, you would easily be able to talk your out of it. The guards here, it seems they're off duty throughout the night. If we manage to seize this opportunity, it should be smooth sailing from here" Venti continued
"Stop mentioning us getting caught!" Paimon said angrily
"Lumine... What do you say?" Venti asked her
"I'm sorry- Wait... The moment ago, did you said you're Barbatos?" Lumine just realized something from what Nun said to her earlier
"Ah, yes. Seems I did mention that..." Venti said nervously then changed subject "Your point being?"
"If you really are a god, then we can't simply abandon you" Lumine answered and suspected of him
"Why does your decision hinge upon whether or not I am god?" Venti asked her
"Paimon'll fill you in on Lumine's background story when we get the time..." Paimon said as Lumine answered "And if you're not god, then I'll help Dvalin anyway"
"Huh?"
"I will bring you the Holy Lyre der Himmel" Lumine said in determination
"Thank you. We should wait until night. You guys can do something to waste the time" Venti told as they nodded and walked out the cathedral
-Outside the cathedral-
Boboiboy is looking at the view from outside the cathedral while waiting for them. He heard the door opens and reveals Lumine, Paimon, and Venti
"Did you guys get the Holy Lyre?" Boboiboy asked them
"Nah. We didn't get it. Sister won't let us have it because some reasons" Venti told them
"So how are we going to get it?" Boboiboy asked
"I'm going to steal it" Lumine answered honestly and Boboiboy was surprised "Eh! You're going to steal it?! But you are getting arrest for that!"
"It's the only way. Without it, Dvalin will felt more pain inside and causing more destruction for Mondstadt" Venti told him
"Don't worry. I'm going to be fine. No need to worry about me" Lumine calmed him down
"*Sigh* Okay. But don't get caught, alright?" Boboiboy said in worry as she nodded
"Alright. That's settled. You guys can do anything until almost night. We'll sneak in" Venti said as they walked down and doing something to waste the time
(Note: before continuing the story. I need to tell you. This story will follow the main quest or story. And I have an idea to create another story. It will follow side quests like Amber's quest, Kaeya's quest, Lisa's quest, Hangout quest, or my own idea quest, etc)
-Timeskip to 16:45-
Boboiboy, Lumine, Paimon, and Venti are outside of the cathedral. Boboiboy is waiting outside as three of them got inside and walked towards the basement
"Okay. I wish you luck" Venti said as she nodded and entered the basement
(To tell the truth is I'm lazy for this part so let mini timeskip)
-Mini Timeskip to the room-
Lumine and Paimon have finally made it to the room. Before they grabbing the Holy Lyre, someone showed up and took it
"Oh?! Who are you?!" Paimon asked
The girl didn't answer, she just put her finger up to her mouth to say be quiet
"Give me that!" Lumine sprinted herself to her but it's too late, the girl just disappeared
They looked around in confusion
"She... disappeared?!" Paimon said as the guard shows up and says "Freeze! What are you doing here?!"
"Darn! Run!" Lumine told Paimon as they start running
-Meanwhile outside the cathedral-
Boboiboy and Venti are having a conversation while waiting for Lumine and Paimon
"Boboiboy! Venti! Run! We got caught!" Lumine told them. "What?! Follow me!" Venti said and jumped out of the edge. They following him as the wind starts flowing. They start using the Wind Glider to follow the wind
"Where are we going?" Paimon asked. "To Angel's Share!"
They continued gliding until they found Angel's Share. They dropped down and entered
"Master Diluc, this is this week's accounts" the Bartender handed Diluc the paper
"Hmm... The disaster has greatly affected business" Diluc said with arms-crossed
"Well, let's hope it all ends soon" Bartender said in worry
As the door opens and reveals four figures
"Hi, we'd like a seat at your ahhh... least conspicuous table" Venti said nervously
"Umm... The second floor has fewer customers, you'd be less conspicuous up there..." Diluc told them. "But aren't you a bard? Why not sit front and center?"
"Hahaha, let's save the paid performance for next time. We'll be heading up now, see you in a bit!" Venti answered
The four of them went up to the second floor and hid up there
"Hey, keep an eye on them. There's something strange about that bard. I'll go ask around" Diluc suspected and told the Bartender "Ask who exactly?"
"The "protectors" of Mondstadt..." Before Diluc continued, two guards came inside Angel"s Share and spoke up to Diluc "Ah, Master Diluc. Have you seen two thieves around?"
"What happened? Why have you mobilized so many guards?" Diluc asked as the second guard answered "Haven't you heard, Master Diluc? Two thieves were trying to steal the Holy Lyre!"
"Oh? How odd" Diluc said with no reaction
"Isn't it? The Holy Lyre is a treasure that was played by the God of Anemo themselves. Such a precious piece of cultural heritage-" The second guard got cut off
"Why would one want to steal something they can't sell-off? Would pay better to steal from my cellars..." Diluc said with arms-crossed
"Huh?" Two guards got confused
"Sorry, off-topic. Believe they headed that way" Diluc pointed at the door from behind
"Understood. Thank you, Master Diluc!" The guard saluted and started walking
"Phew. Let's go down" Venti told them as they walking down. And Venti, he started asking for a drink "Today I think I'll have a glass of..."
"You can put down that bottle you stole from behind the counter" Diluc told him. Venti turned and said "... something cold"
'Really?' Three of them sweat-dropped because Venti acted as nothing happen
"Right. I want answers" Diluc suspected of him
"Lemme finish my drink first? I'll pay you - well, with a performance" Venti told him
'Seriously? Are you not telling him? And you'll pay by performance? Do you even have Mora?' Lumine is sweat-dropped more about this
"It's not about money. You seem too young to be drinking" Diluc commented
"No need to worry. When I started drinking, you were still-" Venti got cut off by Lumine. "Actually... yeah"
"He is Master Diluc, the boss of... ah, the owner of this tavern" Venti introduced. "He's very famous. By the way, his dandelion wine is one of my favorites. Though most of the time I can only afford a bottle or two..."
"It's nice to meet you, sir" Boboiboy offered him a hand-shake but the only response he gave him is just a stare. "Okay..." Boboiboy lowered his hands. 'He and Thunderstorm can be a great friend together'
"Are you Boboiboy, who's wield 7 elements?" Diluc mentioned as Boboiboy surprised "Eh?! Who's told you that?!"
"Kaeya had told me about you and your elements. I hope he isn't making up after what he had told me" Diluc told him
"Anyway, I just heard about some thieves from the guard. For the record, I like your guts for trying to steal the Holy Lyre der Himmel. Even if you are fools...but we don't often get to see people like you" Diluc told them
"It wasn't us that stole it! The real thief is still out there!" Paimon said angrily
"These guys are the hotshots of the Knights of Favonious. Why would someone so aspiring steal Mondstadt's sacred treasure?" Venti defended them
"Hotshots...? Oh, so it's you. So, you two and the bard are close friends?" Dliuc turned to Lumine and Boboiboy
"We're not close, actually" Lumine answered honestly as Boboiboy answered with her "We've only heard him play once"
"Well...Despite only being a passing traveler, you two still offered your help to Mondstadt in its time of need. A shame you joined the Knights. The Knights of Favonious...Inefficient right from beginning to end. And towards the Fatui? Weak and conservative. Forget it. I don't feel like talking about it" Diluc said
"Seems you don't really like the Knights of Favonious" Venti said
"Just differences in approach is all. I have my own hopes for this city. Now, answers. Why did you steal the Holy Lyre?" Diluc asked
"You sure you want to know? It could implicate you in the affairs of the Knights of Favonious" Venti answered. "That's fine. I somewhat always end up implicated in their affairs"
"If I tell you the story with performance, will you believe me?" Venti said
"It depends. I'll make my own judgment" Diluc told him. "Then will I get paid?"
"Your reward will range from anywhere between five Mora and the Holy Lyre. It all depends on your story"
'Wait, did Venti ever paid his bills?... Never mind' Boboiboy thought
"Very well. Let me put on a show..." Venti said with a smile
(The story I want to tell starts at...the sky dragon heeding his grave calls...Brutal battle with the wicked dragon...ingested venomous blood and fell into a slumber...only to awake to be expelled in abhor...)
"What did I just witness...This is confidential information. Why did you let me know?" Diluc asked
"Why? Hmm...Perhaps the winds are changing. What say you, Master Diluc?" Venti waiting for the answers
"Interesting. Give me some time. I'll organize some contacts. Outlander, as one of the Knights it seems you"re not a suspect. Blonde is the only description on the wanted poster. You should be safe. That includes for you too as well since you weren't involved. As for the bard, however, it"d be better if you stayed in the tavern" Diluc told them
"Haha. No problem! I like taverns" Venti laughed
"...Okay. Let's meet here tonight after the tavern closes"
-At Night-Time-
For sometime later, Boboiboy, Lumine, and Paimon were heading to Angel's Share to meet up with Diluc and Venti
"Ah, you're here" Venti said
"Wait, you guys are ...?" Jean said
"... Jean?" Lumine confused
"Hi, Master Jean. What are you doing here?" Boboiboy asked
"Well, first of all, I contacted more than one person. Secondly, she came here as "Jean" herself, not as the Acting Grand Master. A Jean you would never see, even as an Honorary Knight" Diluc explained
"What a surprise. I heard about the Holy LYre, but I never suspected it was Lumine. So, the sound of the Holy Lyre can purify Stormterror and return it to normal...Is that true?" Jean asked
"Yeah. That's what Venti said" Boboiboy answered honestly
"Yup! Boboiboy and Lumine are putting themselves on the front line to try and resolve this Stormteror issue. Now that's the hotshot of the Knights of Favonious I'm talking about" Venti told them
"Feels like we're breaking the law though..." Paimon said with a blank look
"I understand this kind of absurd explanation is hard to believe. But, we can ask the bard to play the song again to try and persuade-" Diluc got cut off
"I believe you" Jean said
"To persuade our stubborn command- wait, what?" Diluc was confused about what just she said
"I can't think of any reason for Dvalin's betrayal, given it was once one of The Four Winds. However, if it was poisoned in the battle over Mondstadt all those years ago...and then corrupted by the Abyss Mage after it woke up - we can't really blame it. But as Acting Grand Master I obviously cannot make such a statement publicly. Diplomatic pressure from that Fatui makes it hard for us to seek a peaceful resolution to the Stormterror issue. People would think I've lost grip on the gravity of the situation. That's why I can only do this in private" Jean explained
"Hmph. That"s one of the reasons I don't like the Knights of Favonius. What surprises me is that you would believe an outlander so easily..." Diluc said a little bit angrily
"My cautious and meticulous superior, even you trust him. Don't you, sir?" Jean argued
"I already told you not to call me sir...Never mind. We don't often get to work together after all"
'Sir?' Boboiboy confused
'I pretend to not have heard anything' Lumine keeps her mouth shut
Krik... Krik... Krik...
The room has become awkward silence
"Wow! Um...This is really awkward..." Paimon decided to broke silence
"I have a rough idea of where the Holy Lyre der Himmel is" Jean told them
'Nice recovery! She"s really talented at changing the subject...' Venti thought
"But how?" Boboiboy asked
"The conflict between Mondstadt and Snezhnaya stems from the conflict between the seven nations and their respective gods. The Cryo God's Fatui seems to be after the Anemo God's power" Jean answered
'What's with Cryo Archon? Why do they after Anemo Archon? I have a bad feeling about this' Boboiboy suspected of them while Light takes a note on his notebook
"..." Venti held his chin to think
"So are they going to take over the defense of Mondstadt?" Lumine said
"Agreed. If the Knights of Favonious publicly prevented an attempt on Dvalin's head, then...The only other way to affect the Anemo God's power is to take the Holy Lyre" Jean replied
"The number of Fatui that have come to Mondstadt is far from limited. I've already managed to...coerce a few reports out of them" Diluc added
"Diluc has determined that the Holy Lyre is not being held in the Goth Grand Hotel. I imagine they don't want to leave something stolen in a place where it could be so easily found" Jean continued
"Paimon gets it. If too much of a scene gets made then it becomes a big diplomatic issue" Paimon said
"Hmph, such is the diplomacy between the seven nations" Diluc commented
"Outlanders, ready to go?" Diluc asked Boboiboy and Lumine
"We're ready!" Boboiboy said
"Let's go!" Lumine added
-Time Skip-
For some time later, everyone was heading to the Fatui hideout as Diluc gave Fatui masks to Boboiboy, Lumine, and the others before entering the hideout. Once everyone got to the Fatui hideout and asking some other Fatui members to know where the Holy Lyre was hidden.
Oh yeah, one of Fatui mentioned someone named Signora. Diluc explained who she is. She is No. 8 of The Eleven Harbingers.
Okay, back to business. Once they asked them where the Holy Lyre was. The coward Fatui gave it to them and left as everyone went to the location. Once everyone got there until everyone heard the sound of a Fatui Agent out of nowhere.
"Where did you rats scurry out from...Signora is not going to tolerate this kind of interference in our affairs. So I'll be the one to take care of you - save her the trouble of having to deal with you herself" the Agent started into a fighting stance and pulled out three blades, which is covered with fire
"We've got an Agent to deal with. Come on, let's go and get rid of him" Diluc told them as he pulls the huge sword and Lumine pulls out the sword. Boboiboy started using his element "Elemental Power! Boboiboy Lightning!" Lighting pulled out two lighting swords
"Take this!" The Agent threw three blades at them but they dodged aside. Diluc sprinted and slammed his claymore at him but he dodged. Lumine attacked him from behind, he noticed and blocked it with blades. The Agent pushed her away and was ready to slash her. Lumine closed her eyes and nothing happened to her. She opened her and saw Lighting blocked his attack with his swords
"Don't even dare to try to hurt her even others" Lightning glared at him as he pushed him back and looked at Lumine from behind. "Get up. No time to rest"
"Who's think you are, brat?" The Agent glared at him but Lightning gave him a death glared. The Agent started feeling fear. "You no need to know about me. Time to finish you off. Lightning Speed!"
Lightning sprinted and was ready to slash him. But the Agent saw this and blocked his attacks. Lightning sprinted to different spots and slashed him many times from different sides
'Is Kaeya really telling me the truth that he has those kinds of power?' Diluc thought and looked at the fight
The Agent started going into invisible and walked away from the spot. Lightning stopped what he was doing and looking around
"Be careful. He's going to slash you. Be on guard!" Diluc warned them as they started into a defensive stance and looked around.
The Agent started slashing a few of them. He kept slashing them and switching
"I can't see him. I don't know where he is now" Lumine blocked the attacks
"This is annoying" Diluc felt annoyed while blocking the attacks
"Enngghh!" Lightning's eyes started firing up."Boboiboy Blaze!" His power started bursting. That knocks Agent over and reveals himself. The Agent looked up and felt fear. Blaze slowly approached him and looked at him with anger
"Since you can use fire! Then I'll play fire! Fire Chakrams!" Blaze summoned two fire chakrams. The Agent standing up and ready to fight
"Fire Chakrams Throw!" Blaze threw the fiery chakrams towards him. The Agent quickly dodged the chakrams. Well, barely managed to dodge it as the fiery chakrams nearly hit him
"These things are hot!" The Agent's eyes widened in shock. "W-who the heck a-are you?!"
"I'm Blaze! The most dangerous of all elements!" Blaze smiled darkly while his fist was covered with fire. The Agent noticed and started going to invisible
"No running! Blazing Fire Punch!" Blaze released his fire fist towards him. The fire fist has got The Agent and knocked him over to the wall. That caused some explosion
Everyone covered their eyes because of the explosion. Everyone reacted in shock and surprise. Well, Diluc has no reaction. Maybe a little
'I guess Kaeya wasn't kidding at all. Hmm... How interesting. But why do I feel like he's hiding something?' Diluc thought and put his claymore away
Boboiboy reversed back to the original. As the gate opened, Lumine took it and put in her inventory
"Finally, the lyre is back in safe hands!" Paimon clapped happily
"Hmmph. Kaeya wasn't kidding at all. You really possessed 7 elements" Diluc commented
"Hehehe" Boboiboy laughed nervously
"We should get back. The others are waiting for us" Lumine told them as they started walking
-Mini Time Skip-
They are walking back to the Monstadt and entering the Angle's Share
"Welcome back! Ah, this is the Holy Lyre! You managed to retrieve it!" Venti sighed in relief. Lumine handed Venti the lyre as he held it
"The pattern of flowing wind-carved on the rosewood...and the strings still feel cool to the touch too. Oh, the memories..." Venti replied
"What do you think, Venti? Can you summon Davlin?" Jean asked
"Although this lyre is the real thing, I doubt that it's going to work. As you can see, the lyre has been through a thousand years of history. Its Anemo power has run dry. In this condition, you couldn't play music fit for even Diluc"s tavern with it..." Venti told her
"Bards fight to get on the stage of my tavern. Don"t make assumptions!" Diluc is really suspected of him
"Is that really important right now, Master Diluc!?" Paimon asked and turned to Venti "And you -did you just borrow the Holy Lyre to play music for drunkards to hear?"
"Hehe" Venti just laughed
"What do you mean "Hehe"!?" Paimon said angrily
"Paimon. Calm down" Boboiboy calmed Paimon
"Anyway, we won"t be able to call Davlin with it. The lyre itself is fine, but the strings..." Venti said and turned to Lumine "You're up, outlander!"
"I don"t know how to fix instruments" Lumine looked at with a blank look
"Relax! It's not broken. It's just the intensity of its Anemo power has greatly diminished. Traveler, do you still have Dvalin's Teardrop Crystal with you?" Venti asked
"Of course. I still have it" Lumine said as she pulled it out from her inventory
"Great! Try to use it on the Holy Lyre" Venti told her. "Let me give it a try" She used the teardrop on the lyre. As the lyre changed into a different one
"It worked, as expected" Venti smiled
"This youthful glow..." Jean looked at the lyre and thinking
"Praising yourself? Really?" Paimon answered
"...I was talking about the Holy Lyre" Jean told Paimon
"Thanks to Lumine having purified the crystal, the Holy Lyre won't continue to lose power. That said, its power is far from replenished. It"d be great if we would get more tears" Venti said
"We'll help" Lumine offered
"Me too. We're ready to help" Boboiboy said in determination
"I can surmise that Davlin will already be crying...Suffering alone in some deserted place..." Venti said sadly and looked down
"Dvalin..." Jean felt bad
"Poor baby..." Paimon felt bad too
"This is not something that an Honorary Knight can accomplish alone. I will mobilize the rest of the knights of assist. When you get the Teardrop Crystal, please let Lumine perform the purification process" Jean said
"Leave it to me" Lumine replied
"Heroes supporting each other and setting out on a journey together...How exciting! Lemme come up with a song for you..." Venti felt happy
"Is that all you're going to do? Just sing?" Paimon confused. "Wouldn't be much of a bard if I didn't know, now would I?"
"Hmph. You're so cheeky...You deserve an ugly nickname. Oh, Paimon knows! From now on, you'll be known as "Tone-Deaf Bard"!" Paimon said annoyed
"Hehehe. Awesome (Terbaik)" Boboiboy gave them a thumb-up
"This search reminds me of a feud I once had with the Fatui. Six months ago, a thief stole treasure from the East Temple of the Four Winds" Diluc said
"Whoa. What was it? A cup used by Barbatos?" Paimon asked
"No. Although if such a thing existed, it would be very valuable. Among all the relics they managed to dig up, one particular object was very rare...It was a vial that contained the Anemo God's breath"
"Relics come in every shape and form huh..."
"Anyone with an eye for fine art would like to add this relic to their collection. Once word got out, the Fatui started trying to seek it out as well. They've made tons of counterfeits that can be found everywhere. In response, I just bought every one I could find, irrespective of its authenticity. We're still at it now. I've brought more than two thousand fakes to date, and the Fatui are yet to find the real one"
"Whoa, you guys are insane...So, it means that the real one must be out there somewhere on the black market, right? Hmmm... Paimon'll give you a discount on them if she finds any-cause Paimon's just great like that!"
"Sure, you can try to find the real one. I'll take what you find, even if they're fake. Once you're done, find me at the winery. I'll trade you a beer for every twenty you find"
Boboiboy, Lumine, Paimon, and Diluc ran off to collect the tears, leaving Venti in the tavern
Martinthegamer: hey guys. Sorry for uploading late. I'm really busy many these days. You know online class and some homework. Anyway, I have nothing to say here. Remember to leave some reviews and subscribe to Monsta and Mihoyo. Awesome!
